RESOLVED, That it shall be recommended to Sir FRANCIS 13URDETT to relinquish his claim to the 4,0001. which he lent to Citizen COBISETT, and for which the latter, as zn duty b9und, made the most virulent attacks on the fmin of Government in this Country, and on all perstins, however high in rank or dignified in character, employed in ad ministering Justice and the Laws. RESOLVED, 'lll3t the private harmony w , hich has been so happily restored between Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Citizen fIuNT be concealed from t.!;e public at large, that both sides may be sup posed to act openly and aboveboard.

RESOLVED, That these active Reformers be di rected to employ their efforts in the sane manner against Mr. WHITBREAD, if he appears on the Hustings ; for he, like his fattier, is merely a Whig. and does not understand the true principles at Radical Reform. RESOLVED, 'chat the same, resolute Reformers do, by all the means in their power, endeavour to drive from the Hustings the advocates of Sir Mutt.. RAY MAXWELL, because he Was the Commander of a King's ship, and is consequently a friend to Royalty.

ANOTHER MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF AN OFFICER. Thursday, a Gentleman of the name of Charles Peregeanx died by his own hands, in consequence of insanity and jealousy It appears that the de ceased was born in Switzerland, but served in Spain during the. Peninsular war, when he con tracted an intimacy with a - Captain Gayman, whom he accompanied to England at the termi nation of the war, and there became at once en amoured of his friend's sister, who, however, thought his means unsuitable to the support of the married state. Deceased had importuned her to unite their fates, on Wednesday evening last, when, finding her resolute in her refusal, he re quested to write a letter, and then expressed his intention of going home, till at length, seeing him linger on towards 9 o'clock in the evening, and knowing not what to say in his distressing state, she ordered a Iptckney-coach to be railed for him immediately. On returning to the loom, however, she it , Jund it difficult to open the door, which the deceased had fallen against ; but she at last succeeded in forcing it so as to discover that, Ise lay bleeding on the floor. Assistance was soon attracted by her terrific screams, when the deceas ed was raised front the ground, bleeding most profusely. In his left side a darer was found, while a number of wounds were discovered on his breast. Deceased was unable to speak, and ap peared to be fast dying. When a surgeon bad come, it was ascertained that three deep wounds had ocoßred on the left side, and reached the heart. Deceased had the misery to linger in this situation till about one o'clock on Thursday morn ing. His body was opened soon after his death, when the heart was found to have been pierced in three places. The blade of the dagger, which was covered with blood, was about five inches long, and had entered the body of the deceased up to the hilt. Upon the letter, which the deceased had attempted to write about an hour before his corn , milting the rash act, being read, it was found to ' contain a farewell to his friends, in the content , [dation of the dreadful deed by which be expired.

COVENT-GARDEN.---The Tragedy of The Earl of War ivick, written by Dr. FRANKLIN, the Trans lator of the remains of the Grecian Drama, was revived at this Theatre last night, roMpressed, as the play,-house bills announced, into three Acts. ‘Vlin the Tinker behind the scenes is who this takes the liberty of mending the %yaks . of men of learning and genius, we know not, but we enter our protest against such improper freedoins. Why was this tragedy not suffered to remain in the regular fount of five Acts, as %%Ante!) by the Author '?— The Tinker, whoever he is, has shown himself an arrant Bungler, (or the first two Acts, and se veral of the scenes, are so injured by the compres sion, that they conclude very abruptly, a proof that the Tinker is ignorant of the proper struc ture of dramatic composition. As a proof also that the public expected little from the proclaimed compression, there was a scantier audience present than has been seen at this Theatre from the coni mencement of the season, We hope that the public w.iil set their laces against these daring liberties in works of established merit, for otherwise we may, in doe time, see Handel, Othello, 2nd all the best works of our best Dramatic'Rald compressed into Farces ,or distorted into Melo- Thames —MACREADY gave an animated portrait of Warwick, the great maker and dethroner of Kings in former (lays ; and ABBOTT was a very respectable representative of King Edward; Miss SokiF.RvILLe was much too eelieotent anti stormy even for Margaret of An-. jou, Ad disabled herself by her own violence, her strength not being capable of her iutended cxer i lions ; otherwise her outline of the character was n A exceptionable. MISS KELLY 4 DRURY-LANE 1 HEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, Dee. 1 I,1t;18. 'StR,—As you have given publicity to Miss IteLLY's Letter in your widely-extended Paper of this day, reflecting on the conduct of our Sob-Committee with regard to that Lasly, r trust you will also allow me the like opportunity of stating the plain matter of fact, which, as Manager of Drury-Lane Theatre, I feel myself called upon to lay before the Public. Pretious to the opening of Drury-Lane Theatre, at the re quest of the S:6-Commiltce. ho weic must anxious to retain all the prominent talent which they posse-sed tast -canon. I wrote a Letter to Miss KELLY, containing an offer of her former terms, namely, twenty pounds per week, provided she would restrict her assistance, whilst it remained open, to their Theatre. To this Letter I received an answer from Miss Kelly, declining- any engagement. now this agrees with Miss Kelly's assertion, that the Soh•Conlntittee did not chose to retain her services, the Public will judge. This statement necessity has wrong from me ; and no feel ing of hostility towards Miss Kelly, whose talents no one can more admire than I do, and the loss of whose assistance in the Theatre no one at the time could have more sincerely lamented. It is an honest relation of the truth; then surety neither Miss Kelly, nor any of her most partial friends, can blame the Suh•Committee, if circumstances of distress (which I hope not likely) have fallen on herself, or those dependent on her exec tious ;for if such were likely to he the consequence, would she have rejected so handsome an establishment ? I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, SIEFIIEN KEMBLE. Having yesterd►►y published the Letter of Miss KELLY, we conceive it to he our duty to insert that from Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE. We know the manly frankness and firm probity of this Gentleman, and are, therefore, convinced that it is impossible for him to write otherwise than as he thinks and feels ; but we conceive that the SUB-COMMITTEN ought to have authorized him to print the Letter in which Miss KELLY declined the offered engagement, as that is a document ab solutely necessaty to enable the Public to judge of the whole transaction. UNIVERS' l'Y INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, Dec. 11.—On Friday the 4th inst. at 2 o'clock, the Righr Hon. the Lord Grenville, Chancellor of this University, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Ilodson, the Vice-Chancellor, waited on his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, at Carlton-House, and, being introduced by the Right Fon. the Earl Bathurst, one of his Majesty's Principal Secre7inies of State, the Chancellor presented to his Royal Highness the Address* of Condolence, from the University, on the Death of I►er Most Excellent Majesty the Queen, which his Royal highness was pleased to accept must graciously. This Address has appeared in The London Gazette. Yesterday a Cnoit ot Directors was held at the East ltuliri House, when Captain W. HOPE was sworn into tile: rommand ot the ship Hereford shire. The destinations ot the following ships ‘vvre thus altered. viz.—Heretordshir?, Capt. W.

EDlTOR,—Cohsidering the various Trans latt,ns we have had of the 01(1 Testament trOtn the Hebrew, in which it was first written, and its dis , ribution sine: the Reformation, it is paintul In say that not oue of them is true to the original prototype, which instead of studying, from the in troduction of Christianity into these r6lt'ils- by Augustine, we have been mislead by a volume of errors, corruptions, and legends, for our rule of faith, and are none almost asswed that We have been reading a tvoik Of blunderers, rather titan of those men who wrote no more than what was yealed tO them, insomuch that what we have held to be unciCeptionahly sacred, is Tittle more than profane, and may he called the coMposition, of the Translators, and not of Moses and the Pro- pliers ; but happily we are [sow rescued by Mr. PELLamv from Oeception, by his giving us the truth of the A1111101:37, as it flowed its his divine mission to his - servants. This Geiitleman says, his labour has been to give a new Trsnslation of it, thereby 'to 'promote the glory of his country, the stability of the church, and to aid the cause of religion, by 'removing those objections which have been advanced negaii;st the Scriptures, aturtc, his everlasting honour be it known, he has e(n meoted his wolk to the lively satisfaction of all iotelligent good men, leaving alone the splenetic envy of a certain rival, who, in his holy fervours, has attempted to prove him a liar and a fool. It is a pity that a Sprig of the church should make himself so iNo‘vortlfy and - so ungentlemanlike, ar to lose Isis good manners with his understamling, and rashly abuse this new Translator, merely be cause he is disappointed in Isis vanity. 111 r. lIELLANtst 118 S done much, more possibly than ever was done by man before, and be has promised us still more, that is to say, to make thaz plain which is obscure, and above all, tt> chasten the language of communication. does he say— " Such as wish i to see the Scripture divested oft hose strange expressions, which, whenever they are read in our churches, raise a blush on the cheek of modesty, and a smile from the profligate, and which I aver aad shall prove, are nut to be found in the Hebrew, will appreciate the merit, even amt.. attempt so to do, and so much balled for by all tie nations in Europe•" • now - modeq ! how trite ! So much called for, in-- deed, and when completed glory will be unto thee, - Mr. BEA-Latin - , and shame to thy opponents, after all the abuse you have experienced in the volt e of envy, ignorance, and the malice of a monk. Theta will the world discover that errors, indecencies, and absurdities, are only consecrated by bigots and hypocrites. Credo quia impossibile est. Ag , tin, Mr. BELLAMY says— " I have been teld by many of our most liberal and learn— ed Clergy that if there were a thousand contradictions in the common Version, and it should be shewn that five hundred, have no authority from the Hebrew, the great body of the Hierarchy would feel themselves oblig•ed to any man who should reduce the nfilither." Let us henceforth pray that Mr. BELLAMY may. refine the English of tire Oid Testament, utat it may be read without offending our ideas ; hod that itt. particular he may retitle the stories of Lot mut o,,an, Judah and Tamar, AbsolAtn on his lather Davin's house top,, part of Soiontent's Songs, llagal and Bilka, certain sons of Bdial by 4, Les ire, the son of Gatti, rind a large addenda, 1s Weil shall be walked chapter and verse in a tu t ure Paper, but which are too cour3e to be copied. From Mr, BELLAMY I look for this ith iurpa tteute, glad to my heart - hat he says, " Since the publication of the first part, I have received the moat flattering testimonials front many distinguished Clergy, who, from what they have seen, are anxious to have the other parts of the work as speedily as possible; and with a liberality that does them the greatest credit, and shews their lore of truth, who do not hesitate to declare, that if the remaining parts are executed equal to the first, no Cler gyman will he without it. Some of our learned Prelates have approved of it, and one who is a host was so satisfied with it, that he said to one of his Prebendaries, vergna est veritaa, ct prevalchit." Bravo ! Delightful to hear that our Bishops are so sensible of what is imrevionsly c,dled for, and it must make Mr. BELLAMY'S Critic shudder. It is chatming to see sucl► eleva►e:t characters in his favour but how much more so to see a PRINCE REGENT, a QUEEN, ten ot the Royal Family, five Bishops, Doctor PARE, the Chan cellor ot the University of Oxford, and the Lora High Steward of the University of Cambridge, at the head of a subscription list to his invaluaLle work.
